Israel’s Title Deed: Understanding God's Covenant in Genesis 15

B4L8 In this Bible study, Les Feldick examines Genesis 15 and 16 to explain God's unconditional covenant with Abraham and the significance of Israel's title deed to the land. Discover why God waited 400 years to judge the Amorites and how human intervention in God's plan created lasting conflict. Les walks through Genesis 15 verse-by-verse, detailing the ancient custom of covenant-making where God alone passed between the pieces, signifying an unconditional promise. He explains the prophecy of Israel's 400-year affliction in Egypt and God's justice in waiting for the "iniquity of the Amorites" to be full before judgment. The lesson also covers the beginning of Genesis 16, where Sarah and Abraham try to help God by using Hagar to conceive an heir. Les highlights the immediate consequences of this decision and introduces the "Angel of the Lord" as God the Son, providing a clear understanding of these foundational biblical events. 00:00 – Introduction & Overview 01:00 – Abraham’s Question: How Will I Know? 02:05 – The Ancient Covenant Ceremony (Genesis 15:9-10) 04:48 – Prophecy of Israel in Egypt for 400 Years 06:17 – God’s Judgment on Nations Who Mistreat Israel 08:40 – Why God Waited: The Iniquity of the Amorites 10:30 – Map of Canaan & The Amorite Territory 13:00 – Israel’s Later Disobedience (Jeremiah 44) 15:05 – Israel’s Title Deed: From the Nile to the Euphrates 19:10 – Sarah’s Plan: Trying to Help God (Genesis 16) 21:10 – The Conflict Begins: Hagar Conceives Ishmael 23:10 – The Angel of the Lord Appears to Hagar Watch more lessons from Les Feldick Bible Study to deepen your understanding of Scripture.
